@ZaneSelvans Are those some sort of monster yucca stalk?

I know I know you're all about Springsteen's new Minneapolis song, but I was just playing Bill Henderson's "At Long Last Love", and the lyric refers to Asbury Park, and this is one of my favorite favorite songs.

Bruce Springsteen, "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)"

@ZaneSelvans What kind of co-op is this?

Ok I’m gonna make a list of things that I’d still like to do in whatever lifetime I have left

@dangillmor

Here is a thought...likely to be poorly received but there you go.

Politicians do not need our money to function. Democracy does not need our funding to succeed. Canditates for office can win votes based on their ideas and ideals

Money should not equate with access to our attention if the message is worthwhile.

All fund raising platforms exist to fund themselves. Do not! donate to Act Blue and report every single text as spam.

@idzie Mine, too.

SIGINT #7463 from Topaz 3 (EXPERIMENTAL)

1. Furry Launch Site
2. Nuclear Introverts
3. Illicit Termites

@donni Yes! Now a guard follows me around every time I shop at Target

Lucy on the windowsill, her mama and Tux (her brother and possibly also dad, whelp) on the porch. They don't seem particularly interested in each other, probably for the better.

I've heard of "grawlix" before, but I never knew any of these other terms.

Well I’ll tell you one thing he’s really good at - rolling crises designed to pull attention away from the epstein files. They must be really REALLY bad for him.

Someone tried to be polite by telling me I had nice teeth and I panicked and responded by saying:

"Oh, that's just...
how they grow...
out of my skull."

So apologies in advance to anyone that tries to have a conversation with me.

@privacyguides it does, however, mean you’ll miss things like weather cancellations from the organizers, or suggested next steps.

Next up will be a VPN ban. Many tech-y people will see that and think “lol yeah well that’s not going to stop *me* from using a VPN”

A VPN ban isn’t really meant stop you from using one. It means when they catch you doing so, they’ll use the fact you’re using this harmless technology itself as a *pretense* to lock you up without needing to do any “hard work” (i.e. an investigator’s job) like actually confirming whether you committed a real crime.

Don’t think you won’t be impacted just because you know how to outsmart an ISP filter! This is not a plan to protect children or stop you from consuming adult media. It is a ploy to eventually eliminate ALL freedom of expression and free access to information in the UK.

And the same goes for Chat Control and encrypted messengers, btw

@RickiTarr Yes!!

EU plans to impose 20th sanctions package against Russia on Feb. 24, Kallas says: https://benborges.xyz/2026/01/30/eu-plans-to-impose-th.html

@Sarahp but who is going to buy them if there is a limit on number of AirTag one can add in their findmy! I can’t add any more AirTags.

🚨🚨🚨 MAGA MURDER regime is preparing their efforts to rig the 2026 mid-term elections.

We can stop them if we are prepared and we stand united--but we have to be crystal clear on what they're trying to do.
